I wonder if there are any similar type books.  Like...Our Werewolves, Ourselves, or maybe My Favorite Werewolves, or maybe My Favorite Quentin, or maybe My Werewolf, Myself....

There is a rather popular text for adults wishing to learn grammar basics called The Transitive Vampire: A Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed.

All of the sample sentences are about vampires and the like.

I've stolen the thematic approach to teaching grammar from this book, though I use Elvis in all my sample sentences. Hence, my students learn to avoid misplacing modifiers from the following example:

Sitting on the toilet, Elvis' girlfriend found him dead.

Sick? Yes, but they sure as heck remember it.

MB,

I've found the root of the problem with accessing the forums' home page and Norton Personal Firewall 2003. This might be useful for tracking down the root of any other problems folks are encountering accessing the main page.

By default, NPF is set up to block information about previously visited sites. If this operation is permitted for the DS Forums, then the home page is accessible either by entering the main URL or using the various navigation links throughout the site. (Having to wait for the initial login time to expire is no longer an issue.)

For an NPF user to configure this, s/he needs to open NPF, click on Options and Personal Firewall. Then click on the Web Content tab. On the bottom left, click Add Site, and enter www.dsboards.com. Then, with www.dsboards.com highlighted in the list of sites on the left, uncheck the box under "Information about visited sites" marked "Use default settings" and select the circle next to Permit. Then click OK in the bottom right.

Here's a screen grab:


Do I win a prize? ;-)

You'll thank me for shrieking once you've seen just how many attempts to probe your computer it blocks.

Of course, if you had Norton Personal Firewall, then you could also block MB's nefarious attempts to access your pc via the DS Forums home page. ;-)

I don't know why they wouldn't just hold off the opening of the play until the Center is ready.  He's still doing re-writes anyway.

Actually, at the moment, he's on location in Chicago filming scenes for Surviving Christmas.

And, if you've seen any new work being staged, then you know that rewrites are an option through the rehearsal process. And, if you know how neurotic some people are about perfecting their writing, then you know that it could even be rewritten after it's staged. (He's done it before.)

The whole thing involves the schedules of a lot of people. Charleston Stage Company has another production lined up following David's. Rescheduling for the Clay Center could force them into the position of having two shows in production at once, which would be a royal pain.

They've already blocked out the audition and rehearsal schedule, etc. It's much easier to move this into a venue that can accommodate it on the same dates than it is to reschedule it, especially since they already advertised a set of dates and people have purchased tickets and made travel plans (and I don't mean me).

You can purchase a chiming clock that plays Westminster. That is the "melody" that the grandfather clock in the foyer at Collinwood plays;

My mother actually has one of these on the mantel in the den, and on more than one occasion it went off at the precise moment the Collinwood clock went off when I was watching DS videos while I was home on the weekends from college.

The first time, I thought it was creepy as hell, but, considering how many shots they have of that darn clock during the run of the series, I doubt that the possibility of the two going off at the same time is very rare at all.

I've been watching OLTL since 1973!!

And, who can ever forget 'Maeve Ryan' singing "Danny Boy" each year on my b-day (St. Patrick's Day).

Who over the age of 25 doesn't know who 'Luke and Laura" are?

You'll be pleased to know that every show you mentioned is also supposedly getting a nod on the special.

Did I miss   David Selby in 'Surviving Christmas'? (or is it being filmed THIS year/2003?)

It will be released next Christmas.

Look for me in my new short indie film too . . . Surviving the Media Coverage of Ben and J Lo.

I went to Amazon...saw the film, but it wouldn't tell me what the film is about.
Also, where do I put in a 'promotional code'?

Patti,

My original post has a link to the official site. There's a synopsis of the film on that site. (Amazon's listing is a little bare. They don't even list Jamison Selby's name.)

In order to use a promotional code on Amazon.com, you have to start the checkout process. I don't remember exactly where they ask for it, but they do ask before you complete your order.
